Even though August—the last full month of summer—is pretty much upon us, there’s still a ton of amazing events on the horizon both in and around Milwaukee. Among the biggest, most unique, and most popular festivals that have yet to occur is A La Carte At The Zoo, which is slated to bring food, fun, and music to Milwaukee County Zoo from Thursday, August 17 through Sunday, August 20.
Though enjoying delicious food and drinks in the presence of exotic animals is already an enticing proposition on its own, this year’s A La Carte At The Zoo lineup is another great selling point. This year’s event will have six stages worth of live music from noted national headliners, popular local acts, and a diverse cast of cover bands to ensure there’s something for everyone.
